Panel Session Abstract
Voice over IP (VoIP) holds the promise to change the telecommunications
landscape for years to come, in ways that will benefit carriers, enterprises
and other consumers. VoIP will enable carriers to deliver a new class of
services that are differentiated and easier to manage, while reducing their
operating costs.
What is the real market opportunity for VoIP and what is the timing? How do
carriers address this market without fork-lifting or disrupting their current
networks? How do carriers protect their network investments as they enter new
markets? What are the main equipment building blocks for the new generation
Carrier-grade VoIP network and how do carriers migrate to the VoIP architecture
from their existing base?
This panel of industry experts will discuss the challenges and opportunities in
deploying carrier-grade VoIP. The session will draw focus on network
architecture and service strategies, operational considerations, new generation
technologies and platforms that enable a smooth network migration.
